Anniversary of Michael Schumacher’s tragic accident marks 10 years

On December 29, 2013, Michael Schumacher was heavily affected by a skiing incident in Switzerland. This year’s December 29th signifies the 10-year anniversary of one of the most tragic incidents in Formula One history.

The Ferrari driver had decided to ski on the alpine slopes, which proved to be the most horrific decision of his life. While skiing, he fell down and hit a rock, developing a severe brain injury.

Following the incident, he was quickly rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, he fell into a coma. However, the doctors did not ever give up their hope and continued to try their best to save the World Champion. A year later, the medical surgeons were finally able to bring him back to consciousness, after which his family moved to Gland, Switzerland, where they continued his rehabilitation for his speedy recovery.

Jean Todt, Ferrari’s team principal, officially stated that even though Schumacher is fortunately still alive after nearly 10 years of the horrendous incident, he is not the same person anymore.

He said, “Life is sometimes unfair. Michael had often been lucky in his life, but then came this tragic accident.
